Robert, when people are out there talking to their friends and family and neighbors and co-workers and they hear these words, "Oh, Mom fell. She broke her hip. She went to rehab. We thought she was going to go home, but it turns out she needs to go to a nursing home. " Also known as a skilled nursing facility. At nursing home is $15,000 a month. Everything she's ever worked for down the drain. Nothing we can do about it. Five-year look back period. We just want them to know, "No, that's not true. " Here at the Olsen Law Group, we have all the tools we need to protect their wealth from the cost of a nursing home. Tom, it amazes me because I think everybody has this terrible conception of what Medicaid is and they can't qualify. They've got too much money. I'm afraid to lose my house. And the good news is we have all the Medicaid compliant tools that will protect every single asset anyone ever has. I don't want to brag, but probably our firm has protected well over a billion dollars in assets. We can take care of anything. We can protect a house. No one's going to lose a house. We're not going to allow a house to go into probate for Medicaid to come after it for recovery. We don't worry about the look back period because everything we do is DCF compliant, Medicaid compliant, and it allows us to protect more assets than any other state. You can't protect us to any other state because every state is different. I know, granted, every attorney in Florida does, you know, they work a little differently, but I like to think we're the best because we think four or five steps ahead how to protect assets and that's what we specialize in. So, we're talking about having the state of Florida Medicaid program to pay for your nursing home. And if you people automatically say, "Well, I don't qualify for Medicaid. " Well, what we're saying is we have all the legal tools we need to protect your wealth, your home, your vacation home, your cash, IRAs, investment properties, you name it. Protect all those things and get you qualified where the state of Florida will pay for your nursing home. If people might be saying, "Well, I don't want to go to a Medicaid nursing home. " Well, fact of the matter is that in the nursing homes here in the state of Florida, 60% of the people in there are on Medicaid. The staff is not allowed to know who's Medicaid, who's private pay. Everybody's going to get the same level of care. They have to. And you know, and granted there are only two facilities in all of Central Florida that do not accept Medicaid, uh the Mayflower and Village on the Green. And they clearly do not have to, but everyone else does. They all even Westminster, they do have medical beds. And what it really comes down to, yes, you're never going to get the same quality of care that you would give your own loved one at home, but you are going to get equal care that everyone else is getting. And the truth of the matter is the more you go see your loved one in a facility, they're you're going to get better care because the staff knows you're going to be there and they're going to help. So, the key is that if you have to put a loved one into a nursing home, the key is that you there's a home as close enough that you can go by and visit them on a regular basis. When the staff sees that family is coming by and visiting on a regular basis, hey, they're naturally just going to get some better care, more attentive more attention, you might say. Now, if Robert, we can do this planning for people anywhere in the state of Florida from Pensacola to the Keys.
